Neither here nor There : Poems from the heart

So far Gone

  I haven't looked back and don't plan to . There is nothing there that I need . Just a bunch of lies and broken dreams. 

   Everybody ask why forgive ? My simple reply is that if you don't forgive you'll miss the blessing to come . More and more everyday I realize that I was right . 

   Some people wonder why I hold my head high? Because the ground isn't going to move from beneath my feet . So why look down. The only people that look down are the ones that have no pride and are scared of the things around them.

  All peering eyes ask , why so cold hearted? I sigh and say its warm to those that are real and have common sense. Cold to those that are closed minded and have no sense of direction.     

  No one dare ask what made you this way? But I'll answer , life did. The cold unforgiving thing you call life. Being young you think the world gives as you give it . When the sad truth is you fight and struggle for everything . But that's not to say I had it extremely hard. When you grow up before your time , you learn to look out for yourself and then the ones that care about you . Those people become family . But in every family there's one or two that tend to turn as time goes on.
